Educated Mon Successful Gamblers.

One of the most successful gamblers in tho
city is highly educated gentleman, who
was reared in country home by fond
parents in the strictest manner, until he came
to this city as clerk i'll dry goods store.
Learning to play cards, he became student,
and finally became such an expert player that
he devoted himself to gambling. Notwith-
standing his success he declares he curses the
day he first touched a card, claiming that his
industry and enterprise would have won his
wealth in any branch of business he might
have devoted himself to. As rule, the
prominent gamblers are all well educated
men. One is a prominent Biblical student,
and has valuable and rare collection OF &c
clesiastical works Another is Shake
sperean scholar. Another is lapidary and
has a fortune invested in precious gems. All
of these men regret their passion for cards.

BY the Acts of 1897, any person
selling hard cider is liable TO fine
OF not less than $40 nor moro than
800, and may be confined in the
county Jail not exceeding three
months. This will make il more diff
6cult for the boys to give a satisfac-
tory account of where they get their
drinking liquor. They can't take the
hard cider dodge any more. 1t will
not do TO say l merely took drink
OF two Of cider. The Acts Of 1887
also provide that any person who en-
cages in selling liquor unlawfully may
be arrested on complaint made be.
fore any citizens, and witnesses may
be summoned to prove the charge,
and il tie justice thinks there is reas-
enable grounds to charge the defend
ant with violating the liquor laws, he
may hold the party in the penalty OF
SlOO to answer any indictment and
may require tic party to give bond
in the sum Of 500 that he will not
violate said liquor laws till after the
next grand jury term of court.

The centennial celebration of the
Aurora pastorate, Lutheran Synod of
Virginia, will be held at Carmel, this
county, July 9th and 10th. This is
the oldest Lutheran organization west
of the Allegheny mountains, having
been founded in March, 1887. Every.
body is invited to attend. An inter.
esting program will be carried out.
Julius Hulings had valuable gold
watch and 500 ON his person when
drowned, but when the body was
found, neither watch nor money was
ON his person. His clothes were
nearly all torn from the body, and the
watch and money are lost.

thence down TO this place, In the af-

the vast amount of accessible mineral

what say You, uo,sy

The Deltas and Roughs are uu.
doubtC dly the two best clubs in the
State, and there should be no enmity
or luminosity existing between them.
Both clubs are composed of gentle
men and good players, and so far as
we can learn the Deltas entertain no
i'll feeling towards the ROughs. The
unusual large crowd OF people who
assembled at Rowlesburg to see them
play on the 23d and oath is sufficient
guarantee CT their popularity and
recognition OF their abilities as ball
players. 1t has been suggested, and
We trust the suggestion will be car
ried out. that the Deltas 60 to Nor
gantOwn and play tho ROughs series
Of three games on their own ground.
Mr.. Sheppard, of Wheeling, can be
secured to umpire the games, and as
he is gentleman who thoroughly
understands the national game, there
will be no room for kicking Let
us hear from the Deltas. What say
you, boys Preston will go with you

That Jew Z

About ten days ago, Bruce Blue
and James II. Hurry took passage
on the G. & G.. for Philippi, both in.
tent on buying all the wool that could
be found for sale in Barbour county q,
and as neither knew the others ob.
ject. and being we'll acquainted, they
fell into a conversation which natur.
ally drifted on the Heecy product.
While thus engaged, Mr.. Hurry was
approached by passenger who had
the appearance OF being wandering
Jew. and on learning that Mr. II. was
a wool buyer, he told him he had
1000 lbs. of wool that he had bought
in the back counties, and would like
TO sell 1t. Mr.. II. told him he would
look at it and then tell him what he
would pay. Bruce overheard the
conversation, and with the keen eye
of business man, came 10 the con-
clusiOn that he would forthwith cor.
ner that 1000 pounds of wool. Ac-
cordingly he got the Jew into the
baggage car, made the deal and paid
$40 in cash TO bind the bargain and
as evidence OF good faith. At last
advices Bruce was looking for a Ger.
tain Israelite, 1000 pounds of wool
or his ten dollar bill with the chances
largely in favor of never laying eyes
on either. - GRAFTON Stdaddrd.

Rowlesburg was the scene of
Wholesale robbery Wednesday night,
the visitors who went thither TO see
the game OF base ball being among
the losers. From the queer feeling
complained OF by all the victims next
morning it is evident that they were
chlOrOformCd before they were rob-
bed. The hotels were cleaned out
and many Of the private dwellings
were served in pretty much the same
way. The River House guests were
heavy sufferers, eight watches being
missed from there and all the cloth.
ing one poor fellow possessed except
the garments in which he slept. At
one OF the hotels q guest saved his
watch and jewelry by cOncealing
them between the mattresses before
he retired. The town was thoroughly
done up, railroad men, citizens and
visitors being robbed alike. Suspi-
ciOn attaches To several hard looking
characters who lonfed about the town
that evening and disappeared with
the night. One Of them was seen to
leap from a train on the grade next
morning and take to the woods. The
aggregate loss is not yet known, but
is considerable.-Gra6on Eagle.
